Impending nuptials often inspire us to exercise and eat a little healthier to look our best on W-day—but what about leveling up your skincare game? The pros at Face Haus share their top five tips to help you achieve radiant, healthy W-day skin.

1. Don’t Forget the Neck, Chest, and Hands

“The face starts at the chest!” says the experts. While most focus solely on facial skincare, the neck, chest, and backs of the hands often get overlooked—and they’re just as exposed to the elements. No need for extra products: simply extend your routine to these areas. Pro tip: Use leftover serum or moisturizer on the backs of your hands to keep them looking youthful and sun damage-free.

2. Incorporate Plant Stem Cells

“Plant stem cells” are the new buzzwords in skincare, offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits (try Hylunia Facial Day Lotion). Look for “cell culture extracts” on labels to harness their potential. While they’re not the fountain of youth, they can help protect and rejuvenate your skin naturally.

3. Try Retinol Alternatives

If traditional retinol leaves your skin dry and irritated, explore plant-based options like bakuchiol (found in Eminence Bamboo Firming Fluid). These gentler alternatives speed up cell turnover, helping to restore the youthful skin renewal cycle we lose with age—without the harsh side effects.

4. Treat Acne with Silver

Silver is making a comeback in skincare thanks to its antibacterial powers. It’s especially effective for treating acne, burns, and post-extraction healing. Products like the Hylunia Colloidal Silver Mist can help calm inflammation and banish bacteria—minus the dryness caused by strong topical treatments.

5. Soothe Skin with Beta-Glucan

Beta-glucan is your new go-to for calming sensitive or irritated skin. Derived from plants like oats, it enhances healing by stimulating immune cells to fight off pathogens. Ideal for rosacea, post-peel recovery, or even sunburns, it works wonders (try Hylunia Hyaluronic Overnight Crème Mask).

With these simple updates, your skincare routine can evolve into a powerhouse of protection and rejuvenation for flawless W-day skin!
